An Education (12A) - 23 March 2010 

It's 1961 and bright, attractive 16-year-old Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is poised on the brink of womanhood but stifled by the tedium of adolescent routine. Her life is turned around when she meets David (Peter Sarsgaard). Urbane, witty and twice her age, he manages to charm Jenny's conservative parents (Alfred Molina and Cara Seymour), and introduces her to a glittering new world with his attractive friend and business partner Danny (Dominic Cooper) and Danny's beautiful but vacuous girlfriend Helen (Rosamund Pike). A weekend in Oxford is followed by a jaunt to Paris for Jenny's seventeenth birthday. Her parents believe David's aunt will be there as a chaperone. On her return, her friends are impressed by her new-found sophistication, but her headmistress (Emma Thompson) is appalled and her history teacher (Olivia Williams) is disappointed that her star pupil seems determined to throw away her certain chance of higher education. Just as her family's dream of getting her into Oxford seems within reach, Jenny is tempted by a different sort of life. Will David be the making of Jenny, or her undoing?
